[TheUWfarm] It's a new year and lot's to do on the farm!!


Hello everyone, I've been gone for a while but I'm now back and going to be hanging around the farm most days, so please, if you need something to do, come stop by and help/hang out! I know the to-do list hasn't been updated in a while and the farm is in a transition phase which can be overwhelming but we are gearing up for the fall and I am updating the to do list and planting chart starting today, so now is the perfect time to come down and check out what's going on!
Just some of the things I harvested today were cucumbers, tomatoes, basil, squash, and beans. So, come get dirty and fill up your fridge! I will be here tomorrow around 1 planting starts if that interests you!

Here is the to-do list, it will also be on the farm cabinet. If you have any questions feel free to ask me or even better trust yourself and take risks, that's what we're all about!!
happy fall!!
